This is a poll which basically tests how asexuals and related group respond to people responding to their identity. For those who didn't reveal their identity, try to picture yourself in these situations...

Physically positive can range from a slight tough to a very strong hug

Verbally positive can range from seemingly acceptance without indifference to strongly acceptive

Physically negative can range from a small push to physical intimidation which can be sexual or violent

I think it would be a little weird for some one to hug you upon learning you're ace. Like, "Contradulations! You don't want sex!". Just...little off putting to me. Then again, I'm mostly talking to customers at my work when it slips out, so a random hug from "guy who buys Canadian regular cigarettes and a pack of gum" would be off putting in almost any scenario.

Using Excel, and using a formula, I noticed that the general trend is at 1.47 overall meaning most people respond in average in all of those situations between positive and very positive. Shows that AVEN has a very positive view in life, but this is a small sample so far.

I chose 'neutral indifferent' for everything.

Well.

But the thing is, I wouldn't be able to react anyway else because I am almost physically incapable of responding positively to positive things and I've grown to learn to ignore people saying negative stuff (unless being 'verbally negative' meant being illogical in telling me why I can't be asexual, then, they will be slayed with all the logic and reasoning the world has to offer)

Physically positive as in "socially perceived as positive" or "actually positive for the person in question"?

Socially perceived as positive.

Socially perceived as positive.

Ok, then I'd react very negative to negative reactions, and to physically positive reactions (I'm 99% touch-averse), and neutral indifferent to everything else.

Negative overall because I'm definitely not indifferent to negative responses and especially people touching me, so neutral indifferent doesn't work. And I imagine "being weirded out because why are you making such a big deal out of it, you're making me uncomfortable" isn't all that positive either. :P

The only time I'd have a negative reaction is in response to a negative reaction from the other person. If someone says that there is no such thing as asexuality for example. If someone gives a neutral questioning answer, such as I didn't know asexuality existed, in an open minded manner inviting an explanation I would respond positively
